Journey Group Discussion Questions:
Jesus, Paul, and others throughout the Bible describe spiritual powers and authorities as genuine realities. Why are we often quick to minimize their influence, and how might doing so affect us and the church?
We often speak of the “power of prayer,” but the power rests in God himself. As with Esther’s request of Xerxes, how does prayer set us in good relationship with God and grant access to his power and authority?
The Jews of Esther’s day couldn’t rely on others to defend them. What can happen when we let others think through our values and beliefs for us, and how can we think Christianly for ourselves instead?
